lows adrenaline huge
A huge adrenaline rush is usually followed by a pretty low point.
racing gone skis
From 1999 to 2003 was the peak of equipment in ski racing. Since then, it's all gone in the wrong direction.
people care judgment
I don't care what other people's judgments come down to-I care what my judgments come down to.
team racing shapes
My team has been very unreceptive about the fact that I consistently show them that I train slightly differently than they do, that I consistently show them that I am in better shape for ski racing than anyone else on the team.
beers few
I had dinner. Then I had a few beers with friends and went home.
confusion criteria hoped moment objective positive reflect
I skied the way I hoped would reflect a positive objective. There's a discrepancy there. There's a moment of confusion and disappointment, but my objective criteria was satisfied.
finished people
I've straddled probably more times than most people have finished slalom.
finger instead nice
I don't have to put a finger on it. That's what's nice about being me instead of you. You're the one that has to put a finger on it.
bunch changing leader team
He's been the leader on this team for a bunch of years. There's going to be a changing of the guard.
odd
Ski racers are built odd with overbuilt butts and legs.
cute girl fashion
I have an eight-year-old girl and she does have some appreciation for fashion, but she's stuck in that: "Oh my God, this is cute" phase, so when I go shopping with her and my wife, I can only last about 10 minutes before I have to start exploring other parts of the store.
busy productive
I couldn't be happier with where my life's at right now. I have great partners, I have great stimulating relationships on the business side of things, I've been really busy and productive.
fashion choices world
At this point in my career, I have the privilege of choosing my partners. In the beginning, you more or less take what comes in the door - or what matches up with your brand. But you're always subject to what's available, especially in the ski world where there are not infinite choices, especially on the fashion side.
moving challenges racing
I still love racing and the challenge of it, but at some point, you get to a place where you're perfectly happy moving on and doing other stuff.
